Redman's solo career continued throughout the remainder of the decade, with each of his albums selling at least half a million copies. His musical style has remained very consistent, rarely deviating from a combination of Redman's unique braggadocious wit and hard, P-funk-influenced beats. In addition to releasing albums under his own name, he is part of the group Def Squad (along with Keith Murray and Erick Sermon) with whom he released the 1998 album El Nino, and also has formed a close partnership with labelmate Method Man (of the Wu-Tang Clan) with whom he released the 1999 album Blackout!. The long-awaited follow-up, Blackout! 2, apeared in 2009.
He has also collaborated extensively, both with hip-hop artists and with artists from other genres; the long list of artists and groups he has worked with includes Wyclef Jean, Snoop Dogg, Scarface, The Offspring, Christina Aguilera, Eminem, Gorillaz, D'Angelo, Me'shell Ndegeocello, 2Pac, Jodeci, Cypress Hill, De La Soul, KRS One and IAM.
In 2001 Redman co-starred with Method Man in the stoner comedy film How High, which featured the pair playing two marijuana-addled students attempting to survive at Harvard. Method Man and Redman also appear in the Def Jam Vendetta video game series, often as Tag Team partners, and briefly had their own television sitcom, Method & Red, on Fox during the 2004-2005 season.
Redman is also featured on the video game "True Crime: New York City", in which the central character interacts with an undercover street cop based upon the rap star, who also provides the voice for him.

Yo, yo, fuck you
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo fuck you
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo fuck you
Yo, sim simma, who got the key to my Bimmer?
Jack moves that's how we act when we team up
(Hey, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, chill out, nigga)
(They heard what that nigga say, "Puff puff pass, motherfucker")
(Puff puff pass, motherfucker)
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo
Sim simma, who got the key to my Bimmer?
Jack move, that's how we act when we team up
Throw your triple beam up, this is fish scale
I bailed out the county with counterfeit bills
My slang be high range Brick City
Watch how you sniff, son, I'm highly octane
All you hear is bang, bang (bang, bang)
Yo, remember you, bitch? Shit, I forget my last name
It's all about game, nothin' else, for delf
Walk through the woods then stomp on your foot
With high, I take out any comp' in the hood
Gorilla impact in this rap habitat
Get you steppin' in your Air Max, bounce
You cockin' it back but where it at? Bounce
I got a six pack of Heineken and Big Kap on the wheels
In two laps, I give Stella Her Groove Back
My middle name must be, "Fuck You"
'Cause every time I walk by
Niggas be like, "Fuck you"
I'll be dat, I'll be dat, I'll be dat, I'll be dat
My first name must be, "He Ain't Shit"
'Cause every time I'm in a car

I heard the party going on in there, yeah
Well, let me shake my stankin' ass in there, yeah
Soon as I walk in, dogs are barking
Haters played it back, I stay in front lay handicapped parking
Startin' arsons from Jers' to Arkan'
Saw me coughing out that dread apartment
Roll up to the jam with the front end bent up
Watch them chickens, 'fore end up gettin' salmonella
I'm ghetto like D&D, fuckin' wit' D
You be on Banned From TV Part III
In a heartbeat, tiger, straight out the cup
You're light in the ass, son, you weigh 'bout a buck
But I'm one-ninety physique
Two hundred and thirty four pounds total when I'm carryin' the heat
Not platinum more wax but, platinum in the streets
Any nigga that disagree, smack him in the teeth
Then I bag his little piece, rocking the ice
Give it to the projects, gonna rob him tonight
(Why you acting like that?)
The weed made me do it
Devils advocate hot, it take days to do it

The lyrics to Redman's song "I'll Be Dat!" are a braggadocious depiction of Redman's life and personality. The opening lines, "Fuck you, fuck you," create a confrontational atmosphere that sets the tone for the rest of the song. Redman boasts about his possessions, including his BMW and his counterfeit bills. He also throws in a reference to the Triple Beam Scale, which is used to weigh drugs.
Throughout the song, Redman makes references to his hometown of Brick City, a nickname for Newark, New Jersey. He talks about taking out cops and surviving in a harsh environment. The chorus in which he proclaims "I'll bee dat!" is a way of asserting his dominance and letting everyone know that he is not to be messed with.
In the final verse, Redman recommends that if one is going to be a monkey, they should be a gorilla, emphasizing the importance of being tough and fierce in his world. The song's lyrics overall showcase Redman's no-nonsense attitude and toughness, making for a song that is full of bravado and expertly delivered raps.

While other rappers were too focused on trying to act hard and invincible and flash their riches in their videos, Redman was one of the few rappers in that era that wasn't afraid to make fun of himself and make people laugh.
